RE: VNC thru Cisco VPN and firewall
Until very recently, I used VNC in a very similar environment, including the Cisco VPN. In my case, the Cisco VPN Concentrator was not "outside" the Pix firewall, but parallel to it. So when I establish a VPN connection, I am not going through the firewall at all. Can you access other services/servers going through this same setup? Ie, when you have a VPN connection established, can you surf a web server that is also located behind the VPN concentrator & Pix firewall?

RE: Problem with vnc in inetd mode
The problem seems to be gone in TightVNC 1.2.6. Or rather, it seems to be reduced to the point it's no longer a problem. Every 5th or 10th connection attempt fails, but the very next attempt succeeds. The prior situation was, all subsequent attempts failed, for approximately a minute.

It works fine without a wm. Yes, it has multiple instances. I think pid 24626 is the Xvnc process. I should point out that this works great the majority of the time. We may have 5 or 10 sessions running at a time. Only about one in ten viewer startups fails as described. Then, it takes about a minute before that client can connect again. (Yes, there is some new information here, I have done much more testing). I am about to do another test to see if only that client is prevented from connecting during the minute, or are all clients. But first, I have installed TightVNC 1.2.6, and I will see if I can still reproduce the problem. > For your patched Xvnc, you did not have to patch it. There > are more options to start an app at login. For example create > a dedicated user and start the app from the ~/.xstartup file > (this depends on the used window manager). What I am really trying to avoid is the xdm login screen. Our application authenticates the user. I have not been able to find a way to start an app without (1) pre-starting all sessions, or (2) using xdm with the redundant (in our case) login.

Problem with vnc in inetd mode
I have been using Xvnc for some time now, in inetd mode. It is running on a Linux server (RedHat 6.2). The clients are various Windows systems running the viewer. We primarily use TightVNC but I have tested the standard AT&T distribution and I see the problem there, too. The problem is this: occassionally the viewer will fail to connect to the server. If it fails once, it may fail multiple times. It may take several seconds to a minute to get a good connection. During this time I can only find one "clue" on the server: "netstat -an" shows this: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp0 0 192.168.0.110:5900 192.168.0.3:2064 TIME_WAIT the first IP address is the Linux server, the second IP address is the Windows client. The Windows client port number varies. I must wait for this connection to disappear before I can successfully establish a connection again. Does anybody have any idea what's going on here?

Re: Improving performance
That's what TightVNC ( www.tightvnc.com ) is for. It compresses the data stream for better performance over slow connections. It puts some load on the processors at both ends so it's best used with slow connections. Tight is completely compatible with AT&T VNC - you could substitute the viewer (client) or the server with Tight, running AT&T VNC at the other end, and it would still work. But you get the compression only if you run Tight at both ends.

I just realized I omitted an important piece of information. I tried "-cc 3" per the VNC FAQ. What happens is really weird. The application seems to run as a monochrome negative. Consistently. Until I exit the application. Then, for a couple of seconds before it disappears from the screen, the colors are EXACTLY RIGHT. Tantalizing, and frustrating. Why does it look right just at the end, and how can I make it look right all the time? This behaviour occurs with both AT&T and Tightvnc, at both ends. Again, thanks for any and all help.

Xvnc and colors
I have an application I am running on a Linux box and accessing from a Windows desktop, using vncviewer & Xvnc. Everything is working great except the colors -- they're a bit "off". I am running Xvnc at 8 bit depth. The colors are better at 24 bits but then I have a performance (speed) problem. Can anyone enlighten me about the color related arguments to Xvnc? Specifically: -cc intdefault color visual class -co file color database file The only other information I was able to find was from the VNC FAQ: cc n Sets the colour Visual class used by the server. Some X applications don't cope too well with the TrueColor visual normally used by an 8-bit-deep Xvnc. You can make the server use a PseudoColor visual by specifying -cc 3. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Lee Allen Leadtec Systems, a division of CGS ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: VNC Server for IPAQ
Assuming the answer is "No" (and I think it is), Microsoft makes a utility for just this purpose -- remote-controlling an iPAQ from a MS-Windows based PC. I have lost the utility and I plan to search for it early next week. Let me know if you're interested. -Lee Allen - Original Message - From: "Nicholson Janet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 2:51 PM Subject: VNC Server for IPAQ > Hello, > > Is there a VNC Server that exists for the COMPAQ IPAQ (StrongArm processor > running windows not Linux)? > We are trying to view the IPAQ display from a PC, or a UNIX box. > > Thanks, > Janet Nicholson > ___ > VNC-List mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: Xvnc & xstartup
I know vncserver can start applications. I must use Xvnc in -inetd mode, to support multiple users and non-persistent sessions. I was just thinking, since inetd starts Xvnc with a user name, it would be nice if it could start the apps specified in .vnc/xstartup or xinitrc, and not require XDMCP. In my case, the login step required by XDMCP is unnecessary ... but unavoidable. -Lee Allen > > -Original Message- > > From: Lee Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > When Xvnc is run in -inetd mode, is there some reason it does > > not execute xstartup or .xinitrc ? > > Yes, -inetd is to be used from inetd (or xinetd or tcpserve or stuf like > that) Hence it get started without a real user. > > Actually, Xvnc never starts xstartup or .xinitrc.

Xvnc & xstartup
When Xvnc is run in -inetd mode, is there some reason it does not execute xstartup or .xinitrc ? I realize it can be configured to use XDMCP, I'm just wondering why this simpler mechanism is not utilized.
